The leakers said it was a brand-new license that never had sets before, and told us not to rule out a 2027 movie (implying it‘s a movie that got delayed, just like Shrek 5). Thus, my money‘s on Shrek ^^

Even better, if so! I was afraid M&G would break the tradition of every movie (beside TPM) introducing at least one new trooper type And I‘m not being sarcastic, I love getting new trooper types

Kinda funny that we still haven‘t seen the hair & hat combo piece that was initially intended for Vidiyo in a HP set. It appeared in the Hocus Pocus set, D&D CMF, BAM, and now very likely in S30, but still hasn‘t been used for a random shopper or shopkeeper

MotU is the least likely option out of all of the ones I‘ve heard. I‘m sure Mattel will want to do their own sets through Mega or Brick Shop, rather than give the license to their competitor I used to be on team Street Fighter, but now I‘m leaning towards Shrek. The hint that we shouldn‘t rule out a 2027 movie implies that the movie got delayed, and Shrek 5 fits the bill.

Looks like the pauldron piece introduced last year was a good investment, as a new promotional image reveals that the AT-AT drivers in M&G wear some

Well, the DCEU version of the character won't show up in the DCU, unless multiverse shenanigans get involved, or they just cast Dastmalchian again and ignore the events of TSS. After all, the movie as such is not canon to the DCU, just some events of it. That said, a purist minifig of the DCEU version can still be made this year if a) Mr 3 gets a minifig; and b) he has an alternative faceprint without the goggles

That's also my best guess, but the recent "a 2027 film cannot be ruled out" comment confuses me. If the leakers know what movie it is, where's the ambiguity coming from? Or do they know it's based on a franchise, but cannot verify yet if it's the new movie or existing material?

Sure, but that was always scheduled for 2027. Unless the original leaker was mistaken and the CMF series was based on a 2027 film to begin with, but that makes little to no sense. Why would a tie-in series be released so far in advance? At that point, the marketing will barely have started! It's either a 2026 film as initially claimed or one that got moved to 2027, which begs the question why they didn't move the series as well. I know, sometimes licensees can't adjust schedules that quickly, like with the CA:BNW McDonald's toys, but CMF series have a pretty short production cycle I believe, meaning adjustments should be way easier than with playsets

Huh. This sure implies a movie that got somewhat recently delayed, but Shrek would be a strange choice for a CMF series regardless. Why not regular playsets?

We haven‘t seen a single character other than Man this year, so I doubt WW stands much of a chance. Maybe the hair & tiara mould simply hasn‘t been destroyed yet! As for Soup, that hairpiece has never been out of circulation. The piece hasn‘t been used in black in a while before last year‘s mech, sure, but it did see use in other colours in other themes.

That's what they want you to think I hope the chocolatier has a big unnerving grin

No way it‘s Shrek. The movie was delayed months ago, giving licensees plenty of time to adjust. Besides, the implication here is that the CMF is all we‘re getting based on whatever movie it is, and if TLG actually pursued a Shrek license, they‘d definitely release playsets first and foremost. I think it‘s a movie where a CMF series is its best possible representation, i.e. something more character- than vehicle- or location-driven. Like Street Fighter. Yes, I jumped on that train

Okay, you got me there, I‘d have to look up some of their names too Without looking it up tho, Jack Black‘s character is named Shelly something, Karen Gillan‘s is Ruby Roundhouse (I think?), Dwayne Johnson‘s something with Stone, Kevin Hart‘s something with Mouse, the kids‘ names I don‘t remember at all, and the villain was named Jurgen the Brutal I think? It‘s been a while

So, this guy? I wonder if it‘s a minifig in a boba costume. Either way, I hope the soft drink with straw piece finally returns!!

Dr Seuss in general maybe, but just Cat in the Hat? Does that story even have 12 characters? There’s the cat himself, the goldfish (which would be an accessory anyway), the two kids, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and who else? I know the movie‘s supposed to be the start of a shared universe, but it still seems like a bit of a stretch. Street Fighter would have the opposite problem! But if so, David Dastmalchian could get two minifigs this year

Easily, if all movies are fair game If it's only the sequels, we have the 4 main avatars, the 4 kids playing the game, the villain from the last one played by Rory McCann, Awkwafina's character, the NPC guide, and Danny DeVito.

Rumour has it that the next series is based on a 2026 film that constitutes a new license. The leaker calls it S30, but that doesn‘t make any sense If it‘s a film getting released after the series does, it’s either Street Fighter, Jumanji 4, or Narnia. Any other ideas?

The marine biologist comes with a new clown fish!

According to someone on Brick Tap, the next CMF series is based on a 2026 movie that is a new license… I just looked at the list of upcoming movies scheduled for next autumn and two stood out to me, namely Street Fighter and the still untitled Jumanji 4. Neither is super likely, but they seem like the best candidates

That‘s debatable. One is based on the post-credits from Mando S2, one is in fact based on a scene from the show, but may as well be a Mando S3 set content-wise, and the third one only features a variant of a minifig to tie in with the show, the build and the other minifig are again based on Mando S2

That piece has been around since 2021 though, so what changed? I‘d say it‘s less likely than ever, given the state of the theme and the upcoming R-rated movie.

The Mario movies didn‘t get any tie-in sets, so I kinda doubt it, but maybe it‘ll be different since it‘s live-action Either way, we need more sets and in a much faster pace! One set every 1.5 years ain‘t enough

The first minifig of S29 has leaked, and it‘s some kind of trash monster using the Vidiyo slime piece in lime Looks like a fun addition!

Pictures of the OoT set are in the usual place Love it!! The Ganon figure looks great and so do the minifigs. Ganondorf is just amazing with that printed cape!

Ganondorf sports a full-length cape with printing on it, so I think that settles the debate
